Stormy Daniels filed a defamation lawsuit Monday against President Trump for his claim in a tweet that she lied about a man she says threatened her to stay quiet about her alleged 2006 affair with the commander in chief.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claims in her Manhattan federal suit that she was exposed to “death threats and other threats of physical violence” and has had to hire bodyguards since Trump’s April 18 tweet.

The porn star has said she was approached in 2011 by a man who threatened her to keep quiet. She and her attorney Michael Avenatti publicly released a sketch of the suspect on April 17.

“A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!” Trump tweeted.

The harrowing incident happened a few weeks after Daniels agreed to discuss the alleged tryst with In Touch magazine — which was tipped off about the matter by her ex-husband, her suit says.

The 39-year-old was accosted in a Las Vegas parking lot — her infant daughter in tow — by the man who told her, “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story” and “That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom,” Daniels has said.

“Ms. Clifford was shaken by the experience and understood the man’s statement to be a direct threat,” the suit says.

The story never ran in In Touch because “after the magazine called Mr. Trump seeking comment, his attorney Michael Cohen threatened and intimated the magazine into not proceeding with the story,” the complaint says.

“Mr. Trump’s statement falsely attacks the veracity of Ms.Clifford’s account of the threatening incident that took place in 2011,” the suit says. “It also operates to accuse Ms. Clifford of committing a crime under New York law, as well as the law of numerous other states, in that it effectively states that Ms. Clifford falsely accused an individual of committing a crime against her when no such crime occurred.”

Daniels says by sending the tweet, “Mr. Trump used his national and international audience of millions of people to make a false factual statement to denigrate and attack Ms. Clifford.”

Daniels is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages.

“Moments ago, we filed this lawsuit against Mr. Trump for his recent irresponsible and defamatory statements about my client @stormydaniels. He is well aware of what transpired and his complicity. We fully intend on bringing it to light. #buckleup #basta,” Avenatti tweeted Monday.

Daniels is also suing Trump and Cohen in Los Angeles over the $130,000 in hush money Cohen admitted to paying her to keep quiet about the alleged affair. Daniels claims a non-disclosure agreement she signed is void because Trump — who’s denied the relationship — never signed it.

That suit was put on hold Friday for 90 days pending a federal criminal investigation into Cohen’s business dealings over concerns that the lawyer’s Fifth Amendment rights could be implicated.
